We know from a reliable source of ours that large money transfers from Russia pass through a Bulgarian bank, GERB deputy Delyan Dobrev told Nova TV. "That is, money is being laundered from transactions of Russian oligarchs through transfers to Hungary. We are not talking about a bank with a Bulgarian owner," emphasized Dobrev.

He pointed out that the last parliament failed to pass amendments to the law to prevent money laundering. These changes would solve the problem of similar activity of foreign banks in the country.

Dobrev called adopting the bill with changes in the texts to deter money laundering as quickly as possible and expects the amendments to be voted on within 2-3 weeks.
